You’re not alone. Del Monte, grower, distributor and marketer of green beans and other vegetables, estimates that 30 million Thanksgiving dinners will include the popular bean dish this year.

It even tried to zero in on just where those dishes might be served by asking 1,500 Americans to rate their fondness for the classic side dish.

According to the Del Monte poll, Kentucky has the highest concentration of green bean casserole lovers, followed by Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowas and Maine. Michigan ranked 19th, right after Illinois.

Del Monte also asked state residents to rate their favorite "secret ingredient," a single, creative item that can be added to the casserole's iconic green bean, cream of mushroom, and french fried onion flavors to make it unique and different. According to the survey, the top five most-wanted secret ingredients are:

1. Bacon — 37 percent picked it as their favorite secret ingredient

2. Cheese — 19 percent

3. Mushrooms — 15 percent

4. Bread crumbs, croutons, or crushed crackers —12 percent

5. Almonds — 8 percent
